In many countries, more and more men are staying at home to look after their kids when women work full time. What are the reasons? It is a positive or negative development?

Contrary to the previous phenomenon prevailing in the past, several contributors, especially

females

become the main breadwinners, allowing

males

to take care of the family. Despite the drawback, prompted by the phenomenon more benefits should be mentioned. The shift in role comes primarily from

both

family and social aspects. On the family’s economic level, men and women can have access to the same educational opportunities. They

both

have an enlightened mind. On the social aspect,

both

women and men can have equal access to the same professional opportunities, to pursue the same career. Traditionally, women have been restricted to certain roles, they were often employed as secretaries or receptionists, while now a range of occupations is available to

both

sexes. Most companies pay more attention to individuals’ merit and ability.They will pay higher wages to people who are better performance at work. In my view, the phenomenon brings many benefits.

Firstly

, the

males

can accompany with their family more time,

females

can throw themselves into their work without scruple of family. It can strike a balance between family and finance.

Secondly

,

males

and

females

will not accept the onerous duty of the gender gap. The most important thing is people have a mutual understanding through the change of parental roles, they will more cherish each other. It benefits a closely-knit family.

Finally

, even if the armed forces lose jobs, the whole family are not get thrown into financial trouble. In conclusion，family income and social progress result in the parental role shift.The trend for

males

and

females

is positive.
